Paraty Maps and Orientation

(Paraty, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)



Situated on the south-eastern side of Brazil and within the state of Rio de Janeiro, the small coastal town of Paraty lies next to the Bay of Ilha Grande and near to a series of small tropical islands. Paraty was founded in the 16th century and enjoys a particularly scenic backdrop, which rises up more than 1,000 metres / 3,280 feet and comprises a mixture of lush forests, waterfalls and mountains.

Many green spaces surround Paraty, with the most prominent of these including both the Serra do Mar State Park and the Serra da Bocaina National Park, as well as the Joatinga Reserve.


Maps and Orientation of the Town

The northern side of Paraty is bounded by the Rio Pereque Acu (Pereque Acu River), which is spanned by the Rua Pontal / Rua do Comercio. Most visitors will not find the need for maps, since Paraty is relatively small, compact and easy to get around, although the street names can be a little confusing at times, since some are known by several different names. Also of note, house numbers do not always follow a logical order.
